Diverticulitis /Sigmoid colon removal
Posted: Fri Apr 21, 2017 7:22 pm
I am 49 and had my sigmoid colon removed 4 years ago .The reason was due to severe diverticulitis and a family history of bowel problems (on both parents sides) .I try to keep as regular as possible with movicol and know I may be do not drink as much fluid as I should on a working day . The last few months although I do not get extreme pain like I had before my operation but I am getting niggles of pain and feeling of pressure and find that I am having more periods of constipation again ...it feels as if i have a bulging higher in my rectum as if there is a pocket and the poo sometimes comes out a bit of a kink ..I am worried ... excuse my ignorance could it be a weakness at the site of the operation .When I have enquired at my gp noone has suggested taking a look just given the advice more laxative and fluids .Am I being paronoid ?
